FUEL SUBSIDY PROTESTS: GOVERNMENT TO SHUT DOWN BLACKBERRY SERVICES
Wary of the gathering storm of public resentment of its fuel subsidy removal, the Nigeria government might have prevailed on telecommunication service providers to shut down Blackberry Services (BIS) nationwide in order to prevent people from being able to organize protests against it.
Bebeakinboade.blogspot.com gathered that in a meeting held this morning by the NCC and CEO’s of the telecommunications companies in Nigeria, MTN, Glo, Airtel & Etisalat, they have all agreed to shut down BlackBerry Services for two (2) weeks owing to the rate of messages spreading over the networks to protest against the removal of fuel subsidy. BlackBerry Services (BIS) on all networks will be suspended at 6 hours GMT (6:00a.m.) on January 4, 2011.
It was also gathered that the presidency has grown increasingly worried about the influence that social media has had in coordinating public opinion on the fuel subsidy issue. We also gathered that the police have been directed to prevail and use force on any protesters. Insiders say the plan protest has sent jitters down the spine of the government, and that it is ready to use everything available at its disposal to nip it in bud.
